I can't wait. This will be my first 10mm handgun. I am from Illinois and try to support companies in my state, so I do favor Springfield, I mean you have to have balls to make firearms in Illinois and for me it is like flipping Chicago Gun Grabber Politicians the bird. Flip Chicago Politicians the bird and you have a friend in this Southern Illinois native. I have the 4" Mod.2 9mm, and the new .380 911, which my wife doesn't know it, but that is actually her pistol. I am slowly getting her to warm up to the idea of shooting, and even have been talking to her about her carrying a pistol, she is slowly coming around. The 911 is a fun little gun, I am 6'4" tall and have big hands. It shoots like a much bigger gun and again it is a lot of fun. Springfield has always been a reliable gun purchase for me.
